Architected and deployed multiple scalable test frameworks and data center services on native AWS infrastructure (S3, EC2 Fargate, Lambda, API Gateway, SNS/SQS, CloudWatch) that enabled successful launch and ongoing maintenance of all EC2 server offerings—including Intel/AMD/Graviton compute instances and advanced ML/AI platforms such as P-series GPUs, G-series accelerators, GB200/300 ultra-servers, and Trainium training instances—directly supporting AWS's infrastructure expansion and customer delivery commitments.

Architected, developed, and orchestrated end-to-end workflow automation spanning manufacturing processes, firmware installation, security compliance enforcement, server provisioning, return merchandise authorization, lab infrastructure management, and firmware/hardware validation—coordinating collaboration across 10+ internal teams and multiple vendor organizations to reduce operational bottlenecks, accelerate server delivery timelines by streamlining cross-functional dependencies, and ensure consistent quality standards across the complete hardware lifecycle.

Led testing of AWS-owned service processor firmware and delivered automated tests now used for all current and future server offerings.

Contributed to organizational excellence through active engagement in Amazon conferences, talent acquisition, technical mentoring, and career development initiatives for engineers and engineering managers.

Designed and coded Rest API based automation framework for system testing in Python 3.

Tested product for different functional aspects including UI/UX, CLI, authentication service like LDAP/AD, Security, Query planning, scheduler optimizations.

Experience working with cloud services like GCE, AWS and Azure as well as Hadoop, HDFS, Hive and other RDBMS databases.

Continuing my role from Nimble Storage with cosmetic title change as Nimble Storage got acquired by HPE.

Recently started working on architecting CI/CD process for mobile application and cloud portal using github, Fastlane, Docker, sauce lab and Selenium-Appium.

• Worked as QA architect on many projects spanning cross all offerings of Nimble arrays, including flash Hybrid arrays, all flash arrays and Secondary flash arrays, starting with

o engaging with development teams contributing to the design of the feature,

o guiding experienced and new engineers from different groups across the organization,

o combining right balance of white box and black box test strategies together,

o ensuring high pass rate, automation coverage and

o timely delivery of product while constantly aligning and prioritizing the focus of the team.

• Worked as key member of performance team and developed multiple performance benchmarks used as proof of concepts by field and support. Designed and developed automation for daily runs and analysis using python, mongoDB and MySQL.

• Helped Infosight team for analytical predictions by creating trends for large scale per second data streams generated by Nimble arrays.

• Worked as the liaison between engineering, Infosight, product management, support, technical marketing and sales engineering.

• Being the Subject matter expert, provided time-critical technical leadership in the resolution of escalations from the field and coordinated learning from these engagements with feedback, test and automation coverage improvements back to the team.

• Drove python based automation efforts within Core Nimble OS engineering team by encouraging teams to implement and reuse common workflows and verification methods to improve efficiency by reducing overlap in automation. Worked as scrum master for many of automation projects.

• Work as a technical liaison between QA automation teams and infrastructure teams often designing interaction between automation libraries, Jenkins, databases and reporting tools like Tableau.

• Attended conferences like SNIA, VMWorld etc. and presented product performance at Global Sales summits. Wrote technical paper about adaptive automation.

• Joined as QA lead and grew into Management role by developing a team of 9 skilled engineers focused on Software/Hardware (Platforms) of Riverbed's next generation WAN optimization products.

• Worked in platforms team covered getting involved in product planning, bringing first hardware prototype up and running, testing all stages of HW, testing FW like BIOS/BMC/LSI drivers etc, testing RiOS – Linux with custom changes and network drivers, testing add on cards- NICs/hard drives/storage subsystem variations, testing Virtual product running on ESX/i and HyperV , testing performance of system, developing automation using Perl and Running regression for SW and HW releases.

• Developed on-site hardware lab to increase productivity of the team.

• Introduced automation (OOPerl and Linux) based testing to the team. Provided hands on training by writing libs and test scripts. Guided team to reach 70% of tests being automated with in the team. This included making necessary changes into automation framework, adding more test coverage and ongoing automation support.

• Worked with automation framework team to implement many improvements to reduce test runtime and increase accuracy of the test run reporting.

• Developed automated regression framework to test minor releases /custom builds/ replacement component testing.

• Worked closely with cross functional teams, including Development and Product Management to deliver quality products on time.

• Helped team to Define, implement and drive root cause analysis process to optimize test plans, for overall quality improvement.

• Reviewed product quality at regular stages, and provide actionable guidance.

• Monitored, tracked and regularly reported test and coverage status and bug statistics to the engineering management and product management teams.

• Mentored QA Engineers and interns on regular basis to drive maximum productivity and efficiency.
